i think boehner would like to. and that is where it begins. >> i am encouraged by the rhetoric and to make washington work better. with the approval rating of 14 percent right now, the lowest voter turnout in 72 years that 36 percent. so there is ample reason for everyone who was elected recently to make washington work better bet there are two reasons we have not talked about. one is the erosion of power and stature of the house. the more they are dysfunctional the more they give power to somebody who isn't. so if they take executive action, that is what is happening. congress is in a position to ask themselves will we become increasingly irrelevant because we are incapable to address our nation's problems today? i don't think anyone wants to be guilty of that. i emily's amazed as i travel abroad the intense curiosity people have about of mark -- america in foreign lands. i amassed all the time why is washington so dysfunctional? as we convince the overall it is the best way to govern if we cannot showcase it how

it's the bill that speaker boehner asked me to get out of this senate, and we did that. that bill he needs to allow the house of representatives to vote, it would pass by a huge margin. that bill would fund all the priorities i've talked about to protect both our economy and our national security. a senate's clean bill to reopen the government, the one the speaker said he wanted me to get out of here, and i did it, and it was not easy. we've been waiting a week, but the speaker could end this government shutdown before they go home for sunday. it was the speaker's intention all along to pass a clean continuing resolution. i believe that. but instead he was waylaid by this tea party-driven nonsense in the house of representatives. he's even refused to allow a vote on a bill that he proposed. listen to this. republican congressman charles dent said last night -- quote -- "i believe it is imperative we have a clean funding bill to fund the government. that was the intent of the republican leadership all along, but obviously there were a few dozen folks in the house republic
